From organizational workflow, to scenes and styles.

The entire first half of the book is dedicated to preparing your model for LayOut.

I'll teach you how to save time and frustration by organizing your model so YOU are in control of how your model viewports look. Don't make the mistake of creating twice the amount of work for yourself because you didn't properly organize your model ahead of time. Learn the workflow for creating models specifically for LayOut Before you even begin modeling that first rectangle, you'll need to fully understand which type of model you should be building for LayOut. I can make the latest version available (in a more user friendly format) if anyone is interested.The SketchUp to LayOut book is the essential guide for woodworkers, carpenters, architects, contractors, builders, and designers who already know the basics on how to use SketchUp, but are looking to create stunning presentations to visualize their ideas with their clients using LayOut. In any case, thanks to all the resources and feedback available here, I think I have developed a fairly good list (but certainly still an imperfect work in progress, it still needs some sorting, and the many benefits of collaboration!) to use as a basis for decision making when shopping for a rendering solution on SketchUp. Since I was on a personal search, I thought I would share the process … but that was a bit naive. Evidently, I was just “recreating the wheel”, without adding any value … and perhaps stepping on the authority of other, older lists! the “negative” feedback from certain members has dissuaded me from any further effort. In retrospect, it’s true that I didn’t do enough deep background research on what was already existing on the Forum - a lessen I have learned, and will keep! I do appreciate all the “positive” feedback from several Forum members on my effort to make a current list of SU Rendering programs available. So the choice of renderer may also depend on your stylistic tendencies

I prefer that all the materials, scene lighting, ornaments etc are placed and adjusted inside SketchUp so that they can be edited and adjusted as part of the model.Įven though (near) photo-realism is easier to acheive these days, a lot of people now keep the rendering output basic (eg dont get into too many fancy materials or highly complex assets) but then use a stack of Photoshop effects and manual edits to give the output more of an artistic touch (can look amazing if done well). You can get carried away with materials options and placing ornaments in your scene, and then have to adjust it all over again when the design gets revised. If you design using Sketchup and then render and then tweak the design and then render again then you really want to minimise the amount of time spent In the renderer tweaking things.

Environment maps or climate (for cloudy skies etc).

Automatic detection of SKM materials such as metal, water and glass, and applying properties to those.

Fast glass (architectural glass/simple glass) reflections.

Cross sections/cutaway digrams (renderer respects SKP section cuts).

License manager (can hot-seat the license so you can model on 1 pc and render on another, or render in the cloud without punishing your modelling PC).

Animation or queing (even camera path/walkthrough is very useful).

Proxies/dummies, so you can keep Sketchup’s geometry light but have some very detailed swappd.

A good material library (unless you create and manage your own high quality sketchup materials).

Fast vs Slow (or CPU vs GPU - we’re talking here about whether it takes 1 hour or 5 mins per render).

Integrated in Sketchup (runs inside the app or has a very good interface) vs an “export” function.

Unbiased (physically-based realistic lighting model, eg if you need to generate realistic colour & lighting for interiors or architecture)

Rendering engines are definitiely a case of:īut splitting them into categories helps.
